Kids Won't Listen? Try This...

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Have your kids been moodier than usual lately? Or is it just mine?

With the changing of seasons, end of summer, and back to school-ness of it all, we're having a tough time over here with some behaviors.

I'm the first to admit that even as a former school psychologist, I'm at a loss with my kids sometimes.

Constant fighting between them, they're blowing up over basically nothing, etc. is a common occurrence, especially with one of my kids, and it's affecting our whole family of 5.

This led me to look for answers and I remembered I had this book that I wrote a blog post on previously and when I used the tactics in the book, they really helped!

That's why I'm emailing you about it today, as I wanted to share some tips with you in case you're going through the same thing as us right now. Times of transition are hard for everyone.

Here's something I thought was pretty cool, after I published this book review, one of the authors commented on my blog post!!

Book Review: How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen

​

Have kids older than 7?

They have other books too! I'm going to pick up their newest book for older kids right now, and you can too right here.

​

I hope this helps and have a great week!!

My cat Suzie 16 years ago soon after she found me

. Hi Reader, I hope your week has started out better than ours. I don't mean to be a downer but my blog is "The Way it Really Is" and it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Trigger warning: death is discussed. A week ago was the 9 year anniversary of when my dear grandpa died, whom I was really close to all my life. Saturday was the 10 year anniversary of when my father-in-law died of cancer at the young age of 65. He never got to meet our kids, which is so sad for all. He would have had so much...
